Liv Tyler is set to reprise her Marvel role as Betty Ross for Captain America: New World Order, returning to the MCU for the first time in 15 years, Deadline can confirm.
Tyler’s scientist character is the daughter of Thaddeus “Thunderbolt Ross” — a general played up until recently by William Hurt, to be portrayed following Hurt’s passing by Harrison Ford. She last took on the part for 2008’s The Incredible Hulk, which was just the second film in the MCU following the Robert Downey Jr. starrer Iron Man and had Edward Norton playing the title character.
The actress joins an ensemble led by Anthony Mackie, which also includes The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’s Carl Lumbly and Danny Ramirez, and Shira Haas, as previously announced. Details as to the film’s plot are under wraps. But it will be the first to have Mackie play the superhero otherwise known as Sam Wilson on the big screen.
Julius Onah (The Cloverfield Paradox) is directing the pic from a script by Malcolm Spellman and Dalan Musson (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier). It’s in production now and is slated for release on May 3rd, 2024.
